For example, as soon as they stepped into the city atmosphere Boon “coughed for something less than a minute” and proceeded to complain about a non-existent cold. Sadly, Boon not only failed to become a true hunter but also a normal civilian. In addition, Boon could not fully function in the real world even when Ike reminded him how he “promised Major” to not consume a single drop of alcohol till they got “back to camp”. Therefore, it came to no surprise, how his desperateness leads him to want to “get the hell out” of there as soon as their business was complete.

When everyone in camp was crying and asking where God was as they all watched the boy struggle to cling on to life, Elie had thought to himself that God was there “hanging…from [the] gallows”, symbolizing his loss of faith in God. From then on, as Rosh Hashanah passed, Elie felt intense hatred for God as He did nothing to help the thousands of people suffering and being murdered. Elie refused to sanctify God’s name because of the immense pain He was causing, and felt angry that others in the camp continued to worship Him. Elie felt “terribly alone in a world without God, without man” and “without love or mercy”. As everyone prayed, Elie felt like “an observer [and] a stranger” because he had disconnected from God, and as he defiantly continued to eat instead of fasting for Yom Kippur, Elie “felt a great void opening” inside him as his last bit of trust in God faded.

When Crispin finds a living person, he got the urge to go up to him. He is forced to promise to stay with this new man, Bear, and that was his first, with many to follow, discovery that he madekes. In order for Bear to keep Crispin in a servile way, he made Crispin swear “on the sacred name of Jesus” (chp. 18 pg 81). Also, when Bear discovers that Crispin has a cross made of lead, Bear demands to see it, and he reads the writing on the side, refusing to tell Crispin what it said.
